In her recent statements, Nargis Fakri has insisted that she left 'Shaukeen' in order to accommodate the schedule of her upcoming Hollywood flick which will be directed by Paul Feig. However, these statements haven't gone down well with 'Shaukeen' producer.

Murad Khetani has now claimed that he had asked Nargis to leave the movie. He says, "Her look tests were completed and we had started diction classes for her. Even her costumes were being finalised.

“We tried to accommodate Nargis' request, but her demands kept increasing. Finally, we had no option, but to drop her from the film," he asserts. 

On being asked that whether they have decided who will replace Nargis Fakri , Khetani says "We will soon announce the name of our new heroine. Despite all the problems, we are going on floors as scheduled in April."

Script and well written dialogues are able to hook the audience throughout the movie, but it is a bit clumsy as well.

Youngistaan movie review

Youngistaan movie review

Youngistaan is directed by the debutante Sayed Ahmad Afzal and is the last movie in which the legendary actor Farooq Shaikh acted. He died while the movie was in pre-production stage. The movie has Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma in lead roles and is a romantic drama set against the political background. Now, let's take a look at the story and the movie review.

Plot Outline
Abhimanyu Kaul (Jackky Bhagnani) lives in Japan with his girlfriend Anvita (Neha Sharma) and works as a video games designer. But soon his life is turned upside down when his father (Boman Irani) who is Prime Minister of India dies, leaving behind Abhimanyu as the most eligible candidate to succeed him. He becomes country's youngest prime minister and starts' implementing many good youth centric policies. However, in his personal life he struggles with his new job as he and his live-in girlfriend finds it tough to handle media coverage.

Actor Performance
Jacky Bhagnani has fared well in this moved. Youngistaan movie can even be termed as his best performance till date. However, his leading lady Neha Sharma looks bit short in the acting department. Late Farooq Shaik who plays the role of prime minister's secretary is once again brilliant. This is the kind of performance which will be missed after untimely demise of the cultured actor.

Positive points
The pace of the movie is very good which keeps you interested till the end. The love story is perfectly blended in the political scenario by the director.

Negative Points
It doesn't seem credible that a young man who has zero political experience is made prime minister of the country. There are many things shown in the movie which defy normal human logic, but then most of the Bollywood directors have made their habit to defy it.

Verdict
Youngistaan is a light-hearted romantic movie which youth might find interesting to watch. A one time watch.

Dishkiyaoon Movie Review

Dishkiyaoon Movie Review

Dishkiyaoon, an action-comedy genre movie is directed by Sanamjit Singh Talwar and produced by Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra along with Eros International. The intense film features Sunny Deol, Harman Baweja and debutant Ayesha Khanna. Let's begin the story and review of the film, which is about the Mumbai underworld.

The story of Dishkiyaoon revolves around two eminent personalities of the Bollywood, Sunny Deol (Lakwa) and Harman Baweja (Viki Kartoos) who dreamed of becoming the most powerful and biggest ruler of the underworld. Viki who belongs to the upper middle class society had no parents. The absence of this love and care was filled by THE GANGSTER‐LAND and he indulged in 'bhai-giri'.

Then, onwards his break free ambitions set his eyes on the top‐spot in gangster‐land. He decided to de‐throne the existing king and there he uses his mind, instead of guns. Then, the real mysterious game begins, where every throw unfolds a suspense and meanwhile, he falls in love with Ayesha. Viki's friendship with Lakwa proves to be dangerous for him later. At last, as the big dreams need to pay big cost, every action have consequences and a gun shot is never did the partiality with anyone, same happens with Viki in 'Dishkiyaoon'.

According to the movie reviews, this large budget movie with mind blowing star cast and performances scored average reviews. The dialogues are powerful in the script, which is penned by Sanamjit Talwar. The publicity and buzz in the media is very much created about the flick due to the presence of popular and famous personalities.

The action packed film has four songs that are composed by debutant Palash Muchhal, who is the youngest music composer of Bollywood at age of 18. Also, the phenomenal actions and acting of the hunk Sunny Deol is once more impressive and liked by the audience. The mysterious, engrossing and entertaining Dishkiyaoon Movie appears to be a bit monotonous during many scenes, that's why it is unable to hit the screen with big bang as it was expected, as per the reviews.

Unique gangster movie with brilliant idea shed new light on the Mumbai underworld through the eyes of contemporary real characters. Also, good looking Harman Baweja and Ayesha Khanna proved their acting debut and able to create a good fan base through the flick. The unwrapped plot fails to rock the blockbuster and it seems like that Dishkiyaoon has lot of bullets in the guns, but none of them is able to hit the targets.

O Teri movie review

O Teri movie review

It is a well known fact that an opportunity to organize an event on large scale is a golden chance for our honorable politicians to line up their pockets. O Teri is centered around one such scandal. The movie is directed by Umesh Bisht who has also co-written the script with Neeti Palta. O Teri is narrated by Salman Khan and has his new proteges debutante Bilal Amrohi and Pulkit Samrat in the leading roles. Now, let's take a looks at the O Teri movie review.

Story Outline
O Teri is centred on antics of two good for nothing journalists Prantabh Pratab/P.P. (Pulkit Samrat) and Anand Ishwaram Devdutt Subramanium/AIDS (Bilal Amrohi). They time after time turn in completely ridiculous useless news stories which is driving their editor insane. Meanwhile, the city is hosting the Asian Olympics which is a ideal opportunity for the corrupt government to gobble up the public funds. However, the government led by Anupam Kher is facing heat from the opposition led by Vijay Riaz. And if PP and AIDS can uncover this big scam their fortunes will change. However, they have their hands full with problems, the one being the dead body they have in their possession. So, they manage to sort out this mess and how they unearth the “biggest scam” is the story of the movie.

Actor Performance
Pulkit Samrat who impressed many with his attitude and acting prowess in “Fukrey”, has done no harm to his rising stock. His comic timing and dialogue delivery is good, while his expressions are also decent. On the other hand, Bilal Amrohi looks rustic and his expressions are ambiguous and amateurish. He needs to work on his acting skills. The seasoned actors Anupam Kher and Vijay Riaz have done a great job. Vijay Riaz in particular is brilliant.

Positive Points
The one-liners are very funny and very effectively used in the movie. The satirical take on the Commonwealth games in O Teri Movie is comic and manages to make you smile as the movie acquaints you with her politicians trademark corrupt ways. The chaotic comedy is decently executed in the movie.

Negative Points
The story of O Teri as expected is very predictable and sometimes gets dull and boring. The direction department of the movie is also found lacking in many sequences. In some of the sequences the funny factor doesn't come off.

Verdict
O Teri is a one time watch decent entertaining movie.
